Not long after, three people pushed open the door to Wang Wei's room.
The man walking in front said, "I heard that Fang sent someone over. What's going on?"
"We'll talk about this later." Wang Wei looked at his thick hair and felt angry. He waved his hand and took out a deck of poker cards from the drawer. He said, "It's not easy to stay here for an hour. Let's play cards. I want to win back all the money I lost last night!"
The man with thick hair curled his lips and said, "You want to win back your money? Don't lose all your wife …"
Wang Wei snorted coldly. "If I dare to lose, do you dare to take it?"
Thinking of the bald woman with two sledgehammers, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He said repeatedly, "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. You'd better find someone else …"
…
Two hours later, the two of them were led around the place. When they walked back, their emotions were even more turbulent than before.
In the Land of Chaos, one could hear authentic Beijing opera, drink authentic liquor, and eat authentic Beggar's Chicken. If one could sleep with an authentic girl instead of a trap, how could the Land of Chaos compare to any prosperous town in the Jing Kingdom?
When they walked to the door, they saw Wang Wei pushing the door open and walking out.
Seeing Wang Wei's gloomy face, the middle-aged man's heart immediately jumped. He asked, "Commander Wang, what's your decision?"
"Damn it, I'll cut off my hand if I play cards again!" Wang Wei scolded with a sullen face.
The middle-aged man was puzzled. "What did Commander Wang say?"
Wang Wei looked at him and said, "I said, if this deal is done, what do you want?"
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat. He looked at him and asked, "Then Commander Wang means …"
"Your proposal is very good. We accept." Wang Wei smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He said, "It's a pleasure to work with you!"
The purple-clothed emissary was finally relieved. He also smiled.
"It's a pleasure to work with you!"
…
After bidding farewell to the bald men and returning to the stronghold, the purple-clothed emissary saw Envoy Fang and the King of Shu already waiting in the room.
"How did it go?"
The King of Shu asked. His expression was calm, but the anxiety and expectation in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed.
"Fortunately, I didn't fail you!" He cupped his hands and bowed to the two, saying, "They agreed to join hands with us to attack Yong County and capture Gyeong Of Silla."
"Alright!"
The King of Shu turned around abruptly and paced back and forth in the room. He even said the word 'good' a few times. His eyes were even more ferocious as he murmured, "Li Yi, oh, Li Yi, we will meet soon. I hope you won't be too surprised when the time comes!"
Fang Yu sat down at the table and asked, "What are their conditions?"
The purple-clothed emissary said, "They want us to deliver five hundred men to them first, as well as a hundred thousand taels of silver, before they are willing to join hands with us."
If those baldies had agreed so readily, Fang Yu would not have been at ease. He would have been worried that there was a trap. However, after hearing their conditions, he felt much more at ease.
Of course, when it came to discussing conditions, it was naturally impossible to make a firm offer. He thought for a while and said, "Tell them that we can only give them two hundred and fifty men and fifty thousand taels of silver. I think this is enough to show our sincerity."
They did not lack manpower. In addition to the elites of the Holy Religion, there were also many bandits who had sought refuge with them in the past two years. He did not care about a few hundred people. Fifty thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. However, he knew that as long as they could conquer Yong County, the return would be ten times or even a hundred times more. Naturally, he could not be stingy with money at this time.
The purple-clothed emissary bowed and said, "Yes, I will send someone to reply!"
"There is no hurry for now." Fang Yu shook his head and said, "This back and forth will take up a lot of time. Let's discuss the details first …"
The purple-clothed emissary nodded. Then he thought of something and said, "When I went there this time, I found one thing. We still underestimated the strength of those people …"
"Oh?" Fang Yu turned to look at him.
"Among those people, there are many experts. Some of them even have the strength to enter the Heaven List of Martial Arts Experts. If we had fought them head-on, I'm afraid we would have suffered great losses …"
"This is also a good thing …" Fang Yu touched his chin and said, "If we can all join our Holy Religion, then the Fringe will be easily obtained. If we can also use those people in the north, then the strength of our Holy Religion will also increase by leaps and bounds …"
Whether it was those baldies or those lunatics in the north, they could not afford to provoke them now. Fang Yu collected his thoughts. The most important thing now was to capture that Gyeong Of Silla, Li Yi, and force him to reveal the secret of Tian Fa. At the same time, he could also find out what happened to the believers in Shu Province …
If they could swallow the huge assets of the Li family, they would not have to worry about money in the future. They would be able to recruit more believers, and Her Highness would be very happy …
…
"Five hundred people, five hundred mouths. That's too much. But they can't just give us two hundred and fifty. It's inauspicious. Ask them for ten more people. One hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand means one hundred thousand. Not one copper coin less. If they are willing to cooperate, then cooperate. If not, then scram …"
In the newly built Gyeong Of Silla Residence of the Li family in the capital, Li Yi held a piece of paper in his hand. He looked at it and said, "And they asked when you are going to make a move? What do you think about before the New Year? Before the New Year, everyone is preparing for the New Year and is not very vigilant. It is a good time to make a move. After we succeed, we can still have a fat New Year. We should help them to the end. Should we also help them plan their route … "
After a while, Wang Wei touched his bald head and grinned. "Alright, then I will reply to them!"
After Wang Wei left, Chen Chong walked over and said, "The thing that the King of Shu regrets the most in his life is that meal he treated you to that day …"
Li Yi did not know whether the King of Shu regretted it or not, but he himself was quite regretful.
He had wanted to live a carefree and happy life with his family in the capital. Who would have thought that just a meal would cause him to offend the King of Shu, the Prime Minister's residence, the Cui family, and the King of Shu and the Cui family's many lackeys in the capital …
Step by step, he was forced to this road of no return by them. He had to protect himself and move forward all the way. Now, not only could he not turn back, he could only leave the capital and hide in this poor and remote Shuzhou. He even had to temporarily borrow someone else's place to stay …
Such a miserable experience made his heart ache just thinking about it …
"From the moment you entered the capital, I began to pay attention to you. I saw you defeat the Qin family, the Chu family, the King of Shu, the Cui family, and even our Chen family fell at your hands …" Chen Chong sized him up and shook his head. "I really can't understand how someone as mediocre as Li Minghan could give birth to such a monster of a son like you …"
Li Yi glanced at him and indifferently said, "Provincial Governor Chen, don't you have any shame? Your Chen family has fallen, and you're blaming me? I wonder who was it that knelt before the previous Emperor and confessed …"
As if thinking of something, he paused and looked at Chen Chong again. "From the moment I entered the capital … why did you pay attention to me?"
Chen Chong waved his hand and casually said, "Nothing much. I just wanted to see what the young hero that even His Majesty praised endlessly was like …"
Li Yi looked at him. "Is that true?"
Chen Chong nodded. "Every word is true."
